Electrical installation work

Tender description

The aim of this project is to bring approximately 11 250 properties up to a modern day electrical standard by March 2021. Many of our properties have not received electrical works for decades, and the Decent Homes programme did not fund a whole house dedicated programme of electrical works. This 4 year programme — which is identified as a priority in the HRA Business Plan — will therefore include the following works: Statutory or Regulatory Requirements: — Install Isolation Switch; — Carry out an initial periodic condition test and report; — Address Category 1, 2 and 3 issues identified by the periodic test; — Ensure earth bonding is adequate; — Install earth wiring to lighting circuits; — Install Hard Wired Smoke alarms; — Carry out final periodic tests; — Replace consumer unit to provide improved RCD protection; — Install additional sockets and / or improve the spread of sockets; — Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors; — Install external lighting to houses, bungalows and flats. The Council intends to appoint 2 contractors so those with the highest scores following the tender evaluation will be appointed.
